The Kora: A Contextual Reclamation of the African Perspective is a collection of readings curated to facilitate a dynamic interest in African American studies and African American history. The anthology emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline, impressing upon readers that the discipline of African American studies is fluid, portable, and practical.The text begins with a reading that provides readers with a contextual foundation in African American history. Additional units address Black religion and institutions, sociology and psychology, economics, creative production, and education. Individual articles explore traditional belief systems, the social construction of race, themes in African American literature, the experiences of African American studies in public elementary schools, and more. Each unit ends with critical reflection, which can serve as guideposts for in-person or virtual discussions or as writing prompts for personal reflections on the subject matter. Providing students with practical examples of Afrocentric approaches to Afrocentric research, The Kora is an excellent supplementary resource for courses in African American studies.

African Americans in Higher Education critically examines African Americans in higher education with an emphasis on social and philosophical foundations of Africana culture. The organizational structure of the volume is a critical interdisciplinary study, which examines the collection, interpretation, and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data in the field of higher education. Moreover, the intellectual history of Black education as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge postures unconventional methods of examining Africana phenomena. To date, there are not any single-authored or edited volumes of essays that attempt to examine the logical and conceptual ideas of the disciplinary matrix of Africana social and philosophical foundations of African Americans in higher education. This project offers an interdisciplinary lens within the matrix of Africana Studies to locate race and communication in place, space, and time. Therefore, the publication of an edited work of this nature affords readers a compilation of literary, historical, philosophical, and communicative essays that attempt to describe and evaluate the Black experience from an Afrocentric perspective.
